Bargain Network, At Home Rewards, Passport Of Fun, Privacy Matters, 24 Protect Plus, Etc... Made Promises they didn't keep, signed up 85-year-old woman for services, and charges, she didn't authorize

My mother phoned about an add in the paper which promised a list of Reposessed Cars and Impound Auctions. The woman on the phone told her if she agreed to join the 'Bargain Network' she would be mailed the list for a charge of $1.95 and a monthly membership fee IF she didn't cancel after a thirty day trial. What she got in the mail was not the promised list and nothing she could use.

Then I checked her bank account and found she had been charged $1.00 each for four additional 'trial' memberships which she didn't know anything about. This caused her bank account to be overdrawn. I keep a close watch on her balance so it was low, but safe if these charges hadn't been illegally applied to her account.

The companies—I had to call each of them separately—agreed to refund the charges, but if they don't, the bank will go after them for us. Meanwhile, the bank is not refunding the over-draft charge until the charges are refunded. This ties up almost $40 at a time when she needs the money badly. I believe the woman who talked to her was thinking that 'this old lady will never know the difference.'

The company is enough of a RIP-OFF without the added cheating of a greedy employee.
